Package: dhcdbd
Version: 1.14-1
Dhcdbd use dbus and dhclient to modify resolv.conf periodically
(approximately hourly).
I use OpenVPN for my internet connection, and there is no
network-manager-openvpn package in Debian as of now.
So every time dhcdbd updates the resolv.conf file, my openvpn
connection is broken and i must restart openvpn (/etc/init.d/openvpn
restart).
Till network-manager-openvpn is not avaible in the debian repos, i
suggest to use the dhcdbd "uint32 mode" 1 and/or 2.
1: turns off modification of resolv.conf
2: turns off all ifconfig actions
There is an example in the README file of the dhcdbd package.
I am using an up-to-date (may 23.) Debian GNU/Linux SID (unstable),
kernel 2.6.15
and libc6 2.3.6-9.

This is actually not bug, but a feature. Besides the periodically update
is triggered by NM and not by dhcdbd itself, its purpose is for roaming
users to freshen the used DNS server.
I won't disable that feature. You should either use resolvconf or use
the openvpn plugin [1] I created for you. Unfortunately I can't test it
myself.
Please let me know if it works for you, if so I'll upload it into the
official Debian archive.
Cheers,
Michael
